Sarva Ashram Foundation believes that protecting the environment is not just a social act but a moral and human duty of every human being. Environment is the basis of our life. Trees, rivers, air, soil and climate – all these together make life possible. But today, due to pollution, deforestation, climate change and over-exploitation of natural resources, our environment is in danger.
Our aim is:
* To conserve natural resources
* To leave a clean and safe earth for future generations
* To make people aware about the importance of environmental protection
We are trying to make the earth green and safe through activities like planting trees, running cleanliness drives, reducing plastic and promoting the use of natural energy.
We believe that “Save Earth, Save Future” should not be just a slogan but a lifestyle.
